On Friday, March 19, 2004, at 11:08 NZDT (March 18 22:08 UT) an approximately 30 metre wide asteroid made the closest, non-impacting approach to Earth so far recorded. Short of hitting us that is! 2004FH, as it was designated,was discovered on March 16.3 UT by the NASA-funded LINEAR team, using their 1.0-m f2.15 telescope in New Mexico. Follow-up astrometry by LINEAR on the next night showed that the object was headed for a very close pass of Earth around March 18.0
